jigging vbl n "But in order to catch the cod, the fishermen first have to catch the bait. This they do by "jigging" for squid with a multihooked artificial lure. The squid, thinking the lure is some helpless prey, grab the jig and are caught. There is almost a carnival atmosphere when a school of squid is sighted in a bay or cove, and the men of the fishing hamlet go out in their dories - "all kinds of figgers with squid lines and jiggers: - to catch the bait.
